Thank you everyone. ;D I have the base coat sprayed on the plates and they're ready for their bone treatment. I'm getting excited, all I have left to build is my shoulders, then it's just sewing, final assembly of pieces and getting it all on. Getting closer. Yay!

Drak, if it wasn't for seeing several of your threads, I wouldn't have even been inspired to attempt this build! Seeing the way you built stuff made me think, yeah, I can do this! Lol, plus you've been a great help through PM's and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and tips with me.  ;D

Well, if you can't make the debut Hagen, I'm hoping to get to go to SDCC '12 next summer, so maybe we'll get to meet there. ;)

Come on then Kora, I'd be glad to help ya.  ;)

Oh, I will finish, I WILL.  :D

I like that the knees are uneven; same with the details on the thighs. After all, this era's supposed to consist of armor that's largely self-made, or crudely hand made by a clan armorer. Of course, they also had hyperspace capable ships and thus should know how to properly mass produce armor, but, well, we won't go there  :rolleyes:. :P.

I know, that's been bugging me too (over thinker here), so I've tried to keep it a "neatly done" organic. I mean their armorer's had to have pride of craftsmanship, right? Plus I figure most of the details were already there because they were made from existing bone, so those parts are different but they were made on exactly the same base templates. Anyway, glad to know it comes across well. Thanks Slade. ;D

Well no two crusaders were alike if i remember correctly. They only started looking uniform when Neos came about and even then Mandalore the Ultimate didn't like the uniformity. Personally i like how none of the crusaders armor looked alike lol Anyway back on topic. Love the plates vod! keep up the good work  ;)

I want to do this now. using the cans and buckets was a great idea.

It will be awesome when its official and will set a standard for early crusader Kits. The Mercs will be proud to have this kit counted in the ranks ;D

Keep it up.

Now when you finish you have to make a War droid.
I,m actually working on one of those ;) built a helm a long time ago....

@seugtai; how are you doing the hoses? regular? or maybe some kind of organic looking umbilical would be cool.

This is what I bought to use for my hoses, it's a corrugated dishwasher hose. Although I may have to go out looking again, it's kinda of stiff for the short lengths I'll be using. We'll see.



Now when you finish you have to make a War droid.

Oh yes, just what I need, my own float for the parade. You volunteering to pull me in it?   :D :P

hey! no mind tricks >:(

Who ME??? *whistling innocently*  :P

Oh! the Basilisk. why was I thinking of war droid troops? :P


now that would be chock-full-o-awesomeness to see at Celebration or something!


on topic.

did you do a test paint? some of those plastics won't hold it. or try wrapping the hose tightly with thin tan cloth or leather to get a good effect for the kit. you got a coupling to go with the hose ends? sometimes soda bottle necks can fit the screw part. or some washers stacked then fitted inside the end can slide over the posts. a magnet at the base of the post can hold it down...........now you got me started.  :P

Naast had jokingly mentioned it before for the D.con parade (since it's our turf) and have it built around a tractor. :P

Hey my clans making the Slave 1 out of a VW beetle  :P You could tottaly build a Basilisk War Droid out of a tractor lol

This build is really making me want to build a crusader kit.... Keep up the good work vod

If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, I recommend gas mask hoses.
They're wider than what you had planned, I'll admit, but they're extremely flexible.

Jagen, I think I love you...that is an excellent suggestion! Thank you, thank you, thank you!  ;D

When searching for them I found the Russian ones and the piece that connects to the mask that I have circled will be perfect for what I need as my attachment piece in my leather chest piece, which I had been stumped on. Added bonus, YAY!
Question-So should I leave the hoses as is or should I paint them?

If you get the same one as pictured Seugtai, I'd be of the mind set to leave it as is. Maybe a brown and black wash or two, but that would be it.

Have a good one,
Hagen

Also if you need any smaller leather hoses, you could go with Hooka Hoses.  Just an idea....

I doubt seugtai will actually breathe through those hoses.

Yeah, that's exactly the same I have.
Never got around to use them for what I wanted, though.

Jagen, I think I love you...that is an excellent suggestion! Thank you, thank you, thank you!  ;D

Yes, there will be NO breathing through the hoses. LOL The only part on the mask I will be using is the part circled, and it will be cut off and attached to my chest piece, so I can attach my hose that goes there. (see concept art pg. 1)

I believe I will leave the hoses as is and just do what Hagen suggested and weather them a bit. Thanks for your opinions everyone.  ;D

I finished painting my armor pieces this morning. Only shoulders to go!
